⁴Then I called on the name of the LORD:

“O LORD, deliver my soul!”

⁵The LORD is gracious and righteous;

our God is full of compassion.

⁶The LORD preserves the simplehearted;

I was helpless, and He saved me.

⁷Return to your rest, O my soul,

for the LORD has been good to you.

⁸For You have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
